were : Justin, Megan, McManus, Mr. Snell, Josh Winston, David Pink, Magnus, Audrey, and Jinsen. Justin starts the chapter off by basically saying he likes art because it’s the only he can be creative and get a good grade. He also likes his art teacher Mr. Snell, but they usually call him Mr. Smell. That day, Mr. Snell assigned the class a new art project where you make Japanese scroll paintings. Two students in his class(McManus and Josh Winston) made these jokes about what if we copied down…
Fabiola Fabiola has been working in polymer since 2010 when she discovered all the possibilities that the material offered. One workshop at a local arts and crafts shop was all it took to become captivated by the cheerful colors of polymer. Fabiola has taken those bright colors and crated art work that she describes as work filled with vitality and vibrant passion while inviting viewers to live life filled with sensitivity and beauty. She enjoys crating pieces that are filled with rounded…
In my opinion, I personally think that how Caravaggio created his artworks in terms of “psychological space” was definitely a successful strategy for interfacing with the world around him. According to the video of Caravaggio, it shows the history of him since he was just a child and how he spent his time or entire life on creating several artworks. After I watched this video, I totally think that he tried to convey his own experiences for his long life by passing them through his artworks. Not…
space between works are art, so the viewers are able to focus on the particular work of art. By spacing art on large blank walls, the museum guides the viewers to look at the significance of the artwork. According to Gilman, works of art, once they are put in museums, exist for one purpose only: to be looked at as things of beauty (Duncan, p.432). It allows visitors to look at a single image and contemplate the methods of creation, meaning, and message behind the work of art. The isolation of…
I never considered paintings to be the beginning of photography, nor have I ever considered rough sketches of city streets to be its humble beginnings either. I have never gone to an art museum and thought, “hm, maybe this artist was using some sort of camera obscura technique to help see an image clearer, or to see different angles of the image at the same time.” From now on, I will. It is an extremely innovative technique that has never once crossed my mind. Looking at the images in the power…
With one dramatic no, a major artist has just escalated the culture world’s war against Donald J. Trump. For more than 20 years, the artist Christo has worked tirelessly and spent $15 million of his own money to create a vast public artwork in Colorado that would draw thousands of tourists and rival the ambition of “The Gates,” the saffron transformation of Central Park that made him and Jeanne-Claude, his collaborator and wife, two of the most talked-about artists of their generation. But…
of the pieces ‘Built Environment’ made by James Castle and the piece ‘Evening at Kuerners’ made by Andrew Wyeth. Both artists have their own way of expressing themselves through their work. James Castle was amazingly creative with how he made his art. Each piece he made helped express himself since he was unable to do it himself. Any material that he found was the base of his artwork. Making his works seem to be almost childlike or unimportant at first look. Even the material he used to make…
to follow his passion for art. Both his masters Jacob van Swanenburch and later on Pieter Lastman were greatly known for their historical paintings. He mastered and perfected everything he was taught after six months. As a young master he then gained a more famously known student named Gerrit Dou. His wife was the reason for his commissions since she was the one that would contact him with patrons, people that would pay him to paint. He was more known for his religious art works since they were…
to fit in. I found my place of comfort through art, which enabled me to want to pursue a career in the art field. Art allowed me to break out my shell and gain a confidence that I didn’t know I had. Being an ametuer artist has already allowed me to grow and sculpt a future that is curated just for myself. Confidence is created when someone feels good on the inside and lets the entire world know. When I got a job, it was probably the most excited…
Circle with Towers by SolleWitt The University of Texas at Austin is a great place that actively promotes a diversity of art around campus.

The public Art Program of The University of Texas at Austin has purchased this concrete block sculpture, which is called “Circle with Towers”, from the Madison Square Park Conservancy in…
